Linux Lite, a distribution created to show people how easy it is to use a Linux operating system, is now at version 1.0.0.

Developers of Linux Lite 1.0.0 (Amethyst), Linux Distro Community, are trying to dispel myths about Linux operating systems and inform people about their alternatives.

Just like almost all Linux-based distributions, Linux Lite is free for everyone to use and share, and suitable for people who are new users.

The standard installation will provide all the necessary tools to make this OS a complete one, more specifically a web browser, email, a music and movie player, DVD burner, office software, voice chat, photo editor, network access tools, printing, and the Linux Lite Help Manual.

More importantly, Linux Lite is based on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS which means that it will benefit from five years of support.
